The Amorous Weekend
Wild Horse Press is releasing a new short story on Tuesday called The Amorous Weekend, by Kathryn Gerbert. You can find it for pre-sale at All Romance Ebooks for $3.98.
New in my world …
In August 2009, my first novel, Whispering Lake, will be re-released by Wild Horse Press. This tale was previously listed with Hearts on Fire, but has a new cover and some never before read scenes! An excerpt is available on my website (http://www.jessicacoultersmith.webs.com). The story’s been cleaned up a little and there’s an extra dose of magick and suspense. 
In Ocotber 2009, you can expect the next installment in the Ashton Grove Werewolves series, Moonlight Guardin. In the 3rd book of the series, we get a closer look at Michael Andrews, the wild one of the bunch… or is he?
And probably the most exciting news for me … I’ve started my first YA paranormal romance – Heart’s Desire. It won’t be released until 2010, but I already have a cover posted on my website. This is actually a story I started over 10 years ago and finally pulled it out back out, blew the dust off, and I’m revamping it a little…
Whispering Lake
Whispering Lake gets a new publisher and a new cover… but it doesn’t stop there! It’s also getting some never before seen/read scenes!
As of July 2009, Whispering Lake is not available for purchase in it’s previous format. It has been discontinued through Hearts on Fire Books and is now being offered through Wild Horse Press.
However, it isn’t the same tale as before. With fresh new scenes, Whispering Lake has been revitalized! I won’t give away the details for those of you who may not have read it yet, but it has added magick and suspense!
Visit All Romance Ebooks for a sneak peek… you can also pre-purchase a copy through their site prior to the release date (August 25, 2009) for $5.98 e-book.
Trade paperback will be available in September 2009 through Amazon.com and Target.com websites.

Red Roses for Authors
Werewolves, witches and ghosts oh, my. This one has all that and suspense that will keep you guessing just where this one will end up.
Long & Short Reviews
Whispering Lake does have a great story line with interesting characters. I loved all the paranormal elements in the book. The romance itself was worth a higher rating with some great love scenes.
Spotlight Review at We Write Romance!
The review I wrote for My Favorite Phantom is the Spotlight Review at We Write Romance!
I enjoyed reading My Favorite Phantom. I wouldn’t say that it was a page turner I just couldn’t put down, but it was definitely worth reading. The writing style was easy to follow; the dialog and actions of the characters were believable (well, maybe not the ectoplasm). Overall, I would recommend it to any fans of paranormal romance.
My Favorite Phantom has a dash of suspense and a blossoming love; throw in a mischievous ghost and a loan shark and you have one heck of a tale! It is definitely much more than just a ghostly love story…

Forbidden & Once Bitten
A Whiskey Creek Torrid Release
Written by Hope Welsh
Rating: 
The vampire angle has been written so many different ways that you’d think it would be hard to find a new one; however, Ms. Welsh found a way to combine our favorite tried and true vampire myths with some of our more current vampire favorites, giving us a unique approach to an old tale. I found both stories intriguing and read the book from beginning to end in one day.

Review from Coffee Time Romance
MAGNOLIA MAGICK
By Jessica Coulter Smith
Release Date: March 17, 2009
Publisher: Wild Horse Press
Magnolia Magick was recently reviewed by Coffee Time Romance!
Magnolia Magick is an awesome book. Lissa is realistic in all her actions, even down to being a klutz and trying to accept compliments. I love her spunk, to go on with life no matter what she faces. Jesse is my hero and can stay with me anytime…Jessica Coulter Smith pens a story where I sat in anticipation of the outcome of Lissa, Jesse, and Jared. It was a pin and needles, on-edge, page-turner for me.”
